Sunflower Study Five

Sunflower Study Finis
I am calling this finished. It's funny how a little stress can make me work with more intensity. Tonight I decided to focus on this study by painting upside down. Painting upside down (the painting, not me) forces me to paint shapes instead of objects. I turned the painting and the reference image upside down to determine and paint the final values. Now I'm ready to frame this study and hang it on the wall.

About Me

Since January 2006 I have been helping homeless pets by donating funds from the sale of my pet portraits to animal rescue organizations.

Artist's Statement:

My journey as an artist has followed a crooked path through real estate brokerage, business management, and the study and practice of Architecture. In 2005-2006 I came full circle back to studio art and daily painting. A fifth-generation native Texan, I am deeply entwined in the land and lore; thus today "I paint the sauce of Texas" (animals, flowers, people, places). I design. I draw. I paint.
